how to increase FPS in gaming

[Tommy McGhee]

I Want To Know Ways how to increase my fps for gaming (specifically for Minecraft)

I Tried Antiviruses and updating my graphics cards and i still go on about 12 fps.

Here Are My System Properties:
Windows Type: Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor: Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2250 @ 1.73GHz 1.73GHz
Installed Memory(RAM): 1.00 GB
System Type: 32-Bit Operating System
My Computer Is Also A Dell Inspiron E1705

Well in terms of hardware many things can be done, but by the sounds of it your biggest need is probably more RAM. 1GB is extermely low.

After that, you can use virtual memory to help a little, close all background programs while playing the game such as antivirus programs, and setting the graphics settings on the game as low as possible.

That's a low end laptop, not suitable for gaming. That said, doubling the RAM is all you really have in the way of upgrade options here.

Also down grading your OS to Windows XP is honestly a good idea since it uses a lot less system resources for the OS itself.

I don't think reinstalling an older OS just for the sake of one game which probably won't run anyway due to the other hardware is very good advice.

If it came down to just a memory issue then buying more would make far more sense.

*The most important information, what GPU you have is not here. This laptop had either the GMA 950 or NVidia 7800M. Either way, they're both fairly old but the GMA950 wouldn't have a chance of running Minecraft.

Like I said in the first post it would be good to install more memory. As for installing Windows XP, I really meant it would be better for everything. I question if there is a single task he can do which won't be faster on Windows XP than on Windows 7 given his limited hardware. Granted, Windows 7 has a lot of nice features and is fast and works well but its still more resource demanding than Windows XP and when the programs he runs has to fight the OS for resources there isn't anything he does which won't suffer.

That particular laptop has either:

Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (standard)

256MB DDR NVIDIA® GeForceTM Go 7800 (optional)


Neither one particularly suitable for gaming.

Look up the specs. That laptop only supports 2GB max.
